San Diego
The A’s bandit apparently struck again Friday afternoon, robbing his 27th bank since Feb. 5, the FBI reported.
The Grossmont Bank at 3802 Clairemont Mesa Boulevard was robbed at 12:19 p.m. by a 6-foot-tall white male in his early 20s. The robber wore blue jeans, a blue Paisley shirt and sunglasses, but not his trademark Oakland A’s baseball cap.
The brown-haired bandit gave the teller a note saying he had a weapon, which he never displayed.
“To have someone rob that many banks in such a short period . . . that’s unusual,” said FBI agent Jack Kelly.
Kelly said he could not disclose how much money the bandit took.
